Question

Answer 1

Statements:

I) Neither P nor R is the tallest. S is taller than P.

S > P

II) P is taller than R and T. S is taller than Q, who is not shorter than P. So, we have the following arrangement.

⇒ P is taller than R and T.

→ P > T > R, or

→ P > R > T ....... (i)

⇒ S is taller than Q

→ S > Q ........ (ii)

⇒ Q is not shorter than P.

→ Q > P ........ (iii)

Combining all these, we get:

S > Q > P > R/T > T/R

Therefore, S is the tallest.

Only statement II is sufficient to find the tallest person among P, Q, R, S and T.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
